All right. So we have a new head of the CDC, a new head of the NIH, which is pretty standard for when there's a new presidency, a new administration. But let's talk about the NSF. John, you have been covering the National Science Foundation, which dispenses federal funding for basic research. These are like fundamental questions across all areas of science. What has it been like over at the NSF?

Yeah. Uncertainty really does seem to be the status of science in the U.S., at least when it comes to federal funding, but maybe just period. So all three of you, I want to ask, what does this mean for the future of science in the U.S. and particularly for current students or people who are hoping to go into scientific fields?
